A Black Hand Elopement (1913)
An Italian, convicted by circumstances as the kidnapper of pretty Dolly Gardner, is pursued and arrested by a typical country constable, Perkins, who entertains the delusion that he has saved Miss Dolly, and is entitled to her in matrimony. The young lady, while appreciative of the constable's service and suit, is in love with Rob, and is to meet him at the justice's and have the contract sealed. Mrs. Gardner, who reads the papers closely, has been much impressed with the doings of the Black Hand Society. She has been impressed with the large, lazy hand of a stretching Negro, crediting it as the ominous sign of the vengeful Black Hand. She is hysterically certain of the peddler's guilt when she sees her daughter's scarf (that he picked up in the street), projecting from his pocket, and he is marched off to the justice's court. As they go in, the newlyweds come out. Dolly and her mother become reconciled and the poor peddler is released to follow the fruity trail of the city alleys.
